Ok, this might sound stupid but I really need to know...

It was actually the Pirates Of The Caribbean RIDE at Disney World, that inspired the films. Jack Sparrow was a completely new character invented for the film and he and the franchise became a hit. From the success of the films, Disney started doing what it does best and started merchandising the film, which included novels based on the film.

So its; RIDE->MOVIE-> BOOKS

The movies came out first!
And their awesome!!!
P.S. I love Johnny Depp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the 1st movie came out before the books came out

Books [not counting books of the movies]

what are you talking about books about pirates if the Caribbean or books about jack sparrow and everyone else cause not sure bout jack sparrow but yes to pirates of caribbean

I don't know exactly but in the books there are the deleted scenes from the movie as well.

books always come out before the movie so i dont see why this one didnt

Well, I know POTC: COTBP was made into a book, but the movie was made first. You can tell because the book is only around 100-200 pages long, and it totally blew. Did they make books out of the other ones?

The books called the jack sparrow series were being written while the ride was being made. The jack sparrow series is before jack had the pearl. Then after the 1st movie came out Irene trimble wrote the a book called curse of the black pearl. Similar to the movie.

basically, the books come out before the movies because the want to spoil the movies. and actually the movies are based on a ride at disney world,

not sure
